WANTS CONFERENCE IN 1911. Kokomo M®thodi«ts Wil! Ask the Privilege on Entertaining Body. The congregation of the South Main Street M. E. church at Kokomo is after the next session of the North Indiana M. E. conference and will make a strong bid for the honor at the conference this year at Bluffton. > That they will succeed in getting the conference at Kokomo in 1911 is very probable as the conference body has very pleasant recollections of Kokomo. In 1896 the Kokomo Methodists entertained the conference and the membership and visitors were loud in their praises of the hospitality which they enjoyed during their stay there. A new church is beng built at Kokomo and it will be completed by the spring of 1911. Thus far the Kokomo church is the only ’ one to make a bld for the 1911 conference. —Bluffton Hews. —- V' — 1 "O — - ■ Wayne, Ind., March 14— (Special to Daily Democrat)—Sanford Love, murderer of his sweetheart, bottle Murden, at Marion a few days ago, died at the jail here Saturday evening at about 6 o’clock, the p result of his having swallowed the ’ heads of a dozen sulphur matches and five pennies. He took the mixed up dose Thursday morning, just as he was being taken from Marion to this place for safe keeping. He was ? attended by physicians, but. they did not consider his case at all serious and believed he would be as.well as J ever in a few days. About 4 o’clock Saturday afternoon he suddenly be- ■ : came much worse and soon went into convulsions, dying soon after. A post mortem examination proved that his death had been caused from the matches, the sulphur having eaten through the stomach in several places. Up to the time he became worse it is said his pulse was normal, he had no fever and the death sickness came on him very suddenly. His remains were shipped to Decatur, 111., Sunday night and the funeral will be held there, that city being his former home. Lpve was twenty-seven years old and was worth several thousand dollars. He seemed to be of sound mind in all business affairs and in everything else excepting his love affairs. The funeral of the murdered girl was held at Marlon Saturday according to messages received and was attended by 2,500 people. • O' - — - - Sparks from the chimney of the Mel Butler home on Tenth street set fire to the southwest corner of the roof Monday and in the playful whirl of the wind the roof was soon : ' blazing away merrily. Had not Glen Warner, principal of the west ward school, located adjoining this home, and Prof. E. E. Rice not happened to glance from the window just in time to discover it before it had gotten much headway, the fire might have proved a most serious one. As it was, they gave the alarm and themselves hastened to render assistance. A ladder was hastily procured and water carried to the buring roof. The fire was extinguished in a very short time before the arrival of the fire department, but not before a good sized hole had eaten its way through the roof, cracking and breaking the plastering in the room below. Mrs. Butler was sewing in the house at the time, and had no knowledge of the fire untfi the people rushed in.

The school terms over Adams county this year are to be the longest every held in Adams county, another victory for County Superintendent Opliger and the county board, and one for which they have labored earnestly. It means a better opportunity for the. young people to educate themselves. Te exact number of days that will have been allowed in the various townships when the schools close is:’ Union township school, 160 days; ■Boot, 160 days; Preble, 160 days; Kirkland, 160 days; Washington, 160 days; St. Marys, 130 days; Blue Creek, 133 days; Monroe, 133 days; French, 140 days; Hartford, 143 days; Wabash, 130 days; Jefferson, 160 days; Berne and Geneva, each 160 days. The schools have enjoyed a successful year so far. There has been great interest in every department, the attendance has been good and the teachers and children have worked together in a manner that has been particularly beneficial to the students. The spelling contests were so much of a success that it has been practically agreed already to hold similar contests next year, Martin Laughlin, commissioner for the southern district, was in the city Monday ,• and joined other members of the board in signing the Caleb Andrews macadam road bonds. They will immediately be delivered to the purchaser in exchange for the cash and the road will be builtthe coming summer. C. D. F. Bieberick, E. L. Foreman and David Steele met at the auditor’s office Monday and Qualified as viewers on the Schuh highway. They began upon their report this afternoon and will have the same ready for the commissioners at their April session. County Assessor Gentis reports that the township assessors are making rapid progress in their work of assessing the personal property in the diffeernt townships, and that it will all be done within the time as specified by law. o LECTURE HERE MONDAY H»GHT. Captain Alberta, Formerly in Russian Army Service, Coming. Captain Alberta, a former captain in the Russian army, whose experiences are well worth hearing, and who is a man of great learning, will lecture at the Bosse opera house next Monday evening under the auspices of the Masonic lodge, each member of the lodge being allowed to take as his guest a number of friends. Captain' Alberta lectured at Bluffton Friday evening and the papers there say it was one of the most interescting addresses ever heard there. On the following evening, Tuesday, March 22nd, he will lecture to the Masons at their hall. He g'oes from here to Fort Wayne, where he gives his lecture in the new cathedral. —o ' ( : One of the most successful revivals eter held at the Evangelical church in this city closed Sunday evening. Not only was the church greatly revived and encouraged, but many were converted and added to the church. The Evangelist, Rev. W. F. Klein, of Residing, Pa., is an evangelist and also a great preacher with out question. Few men, if any, clarify the scriptures as does he, and very few men reach the masses as does he.

Long after Rev. Klein has gone from Decatur will his marvelous sermons be remembered. The good he has . done in our city will only be revealed in the great beyond. Something like twenty persons have confessed Christ during Ms series of meetings. The following persons united with the church, viz.: Mrs. Nora Linn and her two sons, Joe and William; Mr. and Mrs. U. 8. Cress, Mr. and Mrs. Mcßarnes, Mrs. Clark Eddington, Robert Garard, Mrs. Irene Fuerst, Zelpha Hibble, Mary Winters, Laura Blazer, Allie Burrel, Wilda Van Camp, Mary Fuhrman, Naomi yanCamp, Mary Barkley, Ethel Fuhrman, Ida Fuhrman, Edla Gentiss, Hope Hoffman, Zelda Schnitz, Edwina VanCamp and Mrs. Charles Van Camp. The members and pastor wish to express their sincere gratitude to all who assisted in making the meeting a grand success. o ' ■" Marion, Ind., March 14 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The famous Krauss divorce case, in which Mrs. Krauss in her defense insists that her husband killed his daughter, Crystal Krauss, some years ago, and for which she is serving a life sentence in the womans’ prison at Indianapolis, was called this morning. Judge Elilot before ( fore the case is to be tried, surprised those Interested when the case was called at 9 o’clock this morning by announcing that the trial would be by jury. Attorneys for the plaintiff objected to this .unusual announcement but Attorney Hindman for the defense said it made no difference to Mm whether a jury was present or , not However, the judge insisted and . ordered a special venire to be drawn t and to report tomorrow morning at . 9 o’clock, when the case will be resum- ■ ed. It is likely that no divorce case j in the history of Indiana has ever at- . tracted more attention than the f Krauss case. The parties are well . known and some sensational evidence ■ is looked for., Mrs. Krauss was in . court this morning, accompanied by > the matron of the woman’s prison and by her father from Hartford City. W. R. Krauss was accompanied into I court by his aged father, also from > Hartford City. About forty witnesses from Hartford City and a few from elsewhere are here. The case will ro- > quire several days for trial.

He j found the country much to his liking . and took up a homestead claim of 320 > acre near Fort Benton, Montana. Mr. L Henneford and family are contem- [ plating moving to their new possessions to make their future home, but will probably not go before fall. Mr. • Henneford has Jieqn engaged in the r blacksmith business in this city for a j number of years, and has been quite . successful in his work..
